The College of Science at Capital University in Egypt is set to introduce a new diploma program in Microbiology and Analytical Biochemistry for the 2026/2027 academic year. This program is part of the university's efforts to provide specialized academic programs that combine scientific study with practical application. The initiative aligns with the rapid developments in laboratory diagnosis, food safety, and quality control.
The program is launched under the auspices of Dr. Sayed Qandeel, President of Capital University, and Dr. Mohamed Abdel Aziz, Dean of the College of Science. The diploma aims to provide comprehensive scientific qualification in specialties related to laboratory and applied work. This will enhance students' knowledge and link academic study to practical needs in medical and diagnostic analysis, food industries, food safety, quality control, and applied laboratories.
The program includes specialized courses in various fields such as medical microbiology, diagnostic microbiology, parasitology, diagnostic biochemistry, hematology, immunology, cancer biology, tumor markers, body fluid analysis, toxicology, food safety, and quality standards related to laboratory work. These courses are designed to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge in microbiology and analytical biochemistry.
The program operates on a credit hour system, with a study duration of two academic semesters, totaling 24 credit hours. This is divided into 16 compulsory credit hours and 8 elective credit hours, allowing students to choose courses that align with their scientific and professional interests. The structure of the program provides flexibility and customization to meet individual student needs.
The program is open to graduates of science, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, and nursing colleges. It is also open to graduates of agricultural science colleges with microbiology and biochemistry majors. Additionally, applicants with equivalent academic degrees recognized by the Higher Education Council can apply, subject to the university and college admission requirements. Transfer requests from other universities are accepted according to announced rules and controls.
The introduction of this diploma is part of the College of Science's strategy to support specialized academic paths and provide study programs that contribute to developing students' scientific and applied knowledge and skills. By combining microbiology and biochemistry in one track directly related to laboratory fields, the program aims to produce well-rounded professionals.
For inquiries and communication regarding the program, prospective students can contact Dr. Amani Abu El-Nasr at 01001895479 or Dr. Yasmine Mohamed El-Sebai at 01002987171.
